Februaury 2024 Production Adoption Tip: Receiving Notifications when a File is modified

#1

Curious about the Bell icon on Files in Document Explorer and its purpose? You can add yourself to the notifications list for a File: if the File is updated or deleted, you will receive a notification, that is precisely what the Bell icon does.

In Tile or List view of Document Explorer, hover over the File and click on the Bell icon. The icon will then be filled in indicating notifications are turned on.

Points to consider:

  • To remove notifications for the File, click on the Bell icon again. The icon will no longer be filled in.
  • If you select multiple eligible Files using the checkbox, clicking on the Bell icon adds or removes you from the notifications of all files selected.
  • When the Bell icon does not appear, the file type is ineligible for notifications.
  • Folders are not eligible for notifications.
  • Files in the Process Files drawer are also not eligible for notifications.

I have used this before but not needed it recently and forgot about it - might try using the bell icon again.

It is very useful for Advanced Users as they can keep track of changes in their Favourite reports, if they are changed by other Advance user or Admins.

Does it shows who changed the report?
